CDC: Herd immunity never gonna happen

The issue now (and over the past 6 mo) is the moving of the goal posts. We went from pretty much agreeing that a lot of people were going to be sick, and we would shut everything down so we all would not get sick at one time (the infamous flatten the curve).

But now the Left in particular seems to have moved on to keeping covid restrictions around as long as Covid exits as a disease.

That's where the frustrations are coming from.

We have vaccines. Time to move on with normal life.

Maybe a few people want this.

Most people are ready to move on.

A few people on the right also want the vaccines to fail to avoid giving "the establishment" a win.

I'm not going to lump all conservatives in with them.

I think you are making my point, but you are missing one thing. If you get COVID again you will probably be getting a new variant, and maybe helping to create new variant. Sounds like you are a pretty self focused person. Fair enough. Why would you want to get a new variant of this disease or help create a new variant that could kill someone that you care about when we can prevent this with a community effort to eradicate it. This is in your self interest.

I don't see how you can possibly say that it's in his "self interest" unless and until you can tell him what, if any, effects there will be on his immune system from an mRNA vaccine. Especially long term effects from repeated boosters.

Should be more much worried about COVID infection. “If any” LMAO.

Seriously, Flagpole? You have not moved on from your Trump bashing? You might want to pay a little more attention to who the president is right now. Yesterday he had a big press conference to clarify his income tax policy and promised that Americans making less than $400k/year will not pay any income taxes...none. I realize all politicians lie from time to time, but if you believe this guy, then...I guess you deserve the idiot you voted for.

I will continue bashing Trump and his idiot followers until his stink is completely gone from US politics. F'n Kevin McCarthy is a POS, and the GOP members who support Cheney losing positions of power are batsh!t crazy. They are against her because she will not support the idea that the Democrats stole the election. So, she's for truth, and they are against her for that. BS.

Biden left out the word "additional". Seriously, you are going to rip on him for that?

Trump actually LIED to us (and you apparently said "more please") a record number of times...a record that will NEVER be broken.

Biden is an adult.

Biden is not a criminal.

Biden has surrounded himself with qualified people while Trump did not.

Biden knows you don't inject disinfectants.

Joe Biden will be remembered as an average President. He's not especially witty. He's no genius. He's not an innovator. He is though a decent man. Trump is an amoral, serial lying, criminal, a$$hole, dictator wannabe, and the best thing that has ever happened to the US political scene in my lifetime is when Trump lost his re-election bid.

Except that for most people, they will just experience mild cold symptoms....so there is that, and it is still one of the types of viruses that cause the common cold, and again the symptoms are that of a common cold, but go on and claim that saying so means someone is stupid.

1) Experiencing "mild cold symptoms" does NOT make this the common cold. Don't introduce new sh!t.

2) It does not matter that this coronavirus is of the same type of virus that causes the common cold. For you to say that shows your ignorance. An Aston Martin Vantage is the same type of vehicle as a Honda CR-Z.

3) Evidence shows that up to a THIRD of people who get and recover from this NOVEL coronavirus experience mental health issues. NOT like the common cold.

Stop being an idiot.
